Nice!

I gave these products a go as I hadn't tried Sally Hansen products before but I heard good things about these.

The polishes themselves are a good size, bigger than any other ones I have (OPI etc). The packaging is nice and the colours were accurate.

I purchased Pinkie Promise, a lovely baby pink shade and the Gel Top Coat. I found the brush was quite wide so applied very even coats with only 1-2 strokes. The gel itself dried quite quickly and easily lasted a week without chipping. The top coat sealed the nails nicely and helped the drying time.

These nail polishes provided lovely, bright colour that is easy to apply and lasts up to one week.

Super Glossy!

I brought this when I was trying to save some moolah for a trip away and had stopped going to get my gel manicures regularly. I found that the product dried very quickly, was highly pigmented and I loved the fact you didn't have to use a base coat! The colours are vibrant and once the top coat was applied super glossy! They lasted well but not as long as a gel manicure but much longer than my normal nail polishes. I love the product the only downfall is that my top coat when thick very quickly and I had to buy another bottle as it And an added bonus was the actual brush for the polish, it was wider than normal and made applying nail polish quick and easy, providing a streak-free and flawless application!

At home salon manicure!

I have myself quite a collection of Sally Hansen Gel polishes now with the most recent being the ones I got from the vault. Spice Age, Game of Chromes, Hunger Flames and another Gel Top Coat. I am so stoked with them because all of that reviewing paid off because I got myself some gorgeous polishes for nothing but shipping yay!

The colours are simply stunning! They are exactly what you see through the bottle. The shape of the bottle is so new and unlike any polish I know which sets it apart already. The size of it is actually bigger than alot of other polishes that are in the same price range. It's nice to know when you pay top dollar for something you get quality and quantity in one go. I am in love and adoration with the brush it has. It's quite flat but full at the same time. It means that I can get a fingernail done in two swipes! It means my big hands can control it and where I want the polish to go. With this brush it keeps getting polish on my fingers to a very minimum.

It actually annoys me that it takes so long to apply this polish according to the directions though thats the only downfall it has for me. It says to apply two coats of the polish and then a top coat. It takes a good five minutes to even be able to apply a second coat without it distorting. All up it takes me forty five minutes before I can even do anything where it could hurt the quality of the nail polish. Annoying!

After the huge amount of time to paint the stuff on the true test is ahead with the stay power and the promise of longer lasting, no chip wear. Bring it on! Three days in and it's still looking as perfect as the day I applied it, yussss! I am loving this so far. Seven days in I have a mere one chip because my puppy was playing a lil too rough so still good. It took a good two weeks before I even noticed my mani was looking shabby and needed to be done again. I like those odds! They are worth every bit of the $17 per bottle simply because of the stay power, never mind the fact that the colours are gorgeous and it goes on so smoothly. I am officially obsessed with Sally Hansen Gel Polishes and neeeed more colours now!

Tips: Follow the directions precisely to get maximum redults

Crazy in Love with these!

I was super excited to try these! I am new to using gel nail polishes. I have just started growing my nails out for the first time. (totally late of that wagon but yolo!) I decided to show off my grown nails using these miracle gel nail polishes by Sally Hansen. I have the shades Game Of Chromes, Hunger Flames, Crème De La Crème and Spice Age.

So far, so good. Very impressed by these polishes and they have very cute names! I adore the glossy gel finish and the colours are amazing to say the least! Most of the shades I have only need one coat and they look good. The shade Crème De La Crème needs more than 1 layer. For some reason it is funny when I apply it. It looks patchy and off. I have shaken the bottle and it has made no difference. That's the only one I have had an issue with.

The drying time is longer than I expected. Perhaps because it is a gel polish as opposed to your average nail polish. Also they chip easily, probably because I didn't use a top layer though.

Overall I'm very impressed and I would like to add more shades to my collection.

Tips: Use a top coat to prevent chipping.

Yes Sally! We have a winner!!

There is very little I don't love about these polishes. They come in a large range of colors, which is ever expanding. I have Street Flair, Hunger Flames, Game of Chromes, Pink Tank, and Mad Women, plus two top coats. I am also looking to get a black and white, as they are the best lasting polishes I own.

The brush is my favorite thing, and it seems everyone is jumping on the same sort of brush as well. They are flat and wide, rather than thin and skinny like they used to be. They are AMAZING. I can cover a nail in two strokes if I wished, but I always do three, one down the middle and one on either side. I find it provides the best coverage with little to no stuff ups on my part.

The formula is a thick kind of runny. It doesn't dry out as you paint, like some formulas which is awesome. The next best thing about this polish? The staying power. I've managed to get 2 weeks wear out of one polish without topping up with a top coat. 2 WEEKS! For a polish that you can buy at Farmers or wherever, I'm blown away. I love this stuff. I also found that the drying time was cut in half - which is another bonus. A super quick drying polish that lasts for 2 weeks? You must be cray.

The only thing I don't like is the fact it makes my nails peel - I have weak nails anyway but this makes them go super peely. If they didn't peel, I'm almost positive I could get an extra 2 weeks wear out of it. I would definitely buy these again, and I am open for donations of them ;-)

Tidal Wave

I picked up the colour tidal wave online after not seeing it in stores anywhere. This blue is AH MAZE ING! It is a brilliant, cobalt blue and after two coats, the colour is perfect. I've bought other nail polishes this shade and they've taken upto four coats to get even coverage, but not with this one. Two coats, and its perfect.

I'm now on day seven of wearing this colour and the only chip is from when I dropped a dumbell on my nail at the gym yesterday. I kid you not. Aside from the pain, my perfect nail is now chipped. But that was an accident. The rest of the wear is just the tips are starting to get a little worn from typing all the time.

I've had salon gel polishes in this shade before but they've never looked this good or lasted this well.

As for the brush, the packaging etc, its quality. The wide brush means application is flawless and I hardly get any product on the skin around my nails.

Tips: Pair it with the Sally Hansen Gel Polish top coat for the best results

Miracle in a bottle

I do love this stuff. I have it in the colour 'creme de la creme', and have to admit I was a bit underwhelmed on my first time trying it. I couldn't get an even coverage no matter what I tried, so I wore it for a couple of days and took it off. I tried again a few days later, and left a lot more time between coats and managed to get a really nice even application. I think it's because of it being such a light colour, I need to try a darker shade. Wear time, I would say I go a few more days out of it than regular polish, so definitely worth using. I'm not a huge fan of the shape and size of the brush, it's a bit firm and short for my liking, but it did the trick and after a bit of getting used to I don't hate it. All in all a good product I think.

Miracle!

I've got a few of these and I love the colors, the process and the lasting nature of them. Yes you won't get 14 days unless you leave your hands in a bubble for two weeks but let's be honest...if you've ever had gel nails you get sick of the colour by the time two weeks are up. If you're like me you'll also start picking them off...

I think this gives almost a good week before the nails need redone. They're still presentable and I don't find that my nails are damaged after using this product like they are with gels.

I'm already planning on buying more colors! Love this product.

Favourite

This is my absolutely favourite nail polish ! I just love this ! I mean you can't go wrong with the sally hansen range ! But this one does what it says !

I am all about my nails and love the gel look, but when this came out i was so happy that i didnt need to always get acrylics! You only need to buy this ones !

Packaging is great ! Decent size ! Fancy bottle with fancy shape of brush holder. The amazing thing about this is the brush ! I love love the brush, it just applies the nail polish so well !!

This definitely gives a gel effect and can often last one and half weeks ! You dont need to use top coats with this one because the shine it perfect ! Just love that you dont need to use UV light fot this. The texture of the nail polish is liquidy enough to apply and doesnt get thick overtime .

Leaves the nails smooth and shinny !

I have quite a few of these and i keep buying more because these are great !

I'd also like to share my experience: i went to buy this from one of the stores and i was told that you need the top coat that goes with it in order to use this. Luckily i had tried this so i knew how it worked for me. So i told the lady that i like to use it just by itself. So you actually dont need the top coat this one does the job itself ! :)

Try it because you wont be dissapointed ! :)
